Eliud Kipchoge
Eliud Kipchoge (English: /ˌɛliˈuːd kɪpˈtʃoʊɡə/ EL-ee-OOD kip-CHOH-gə; born 5 November 1984) is a Kenyan
Eliud Kipchoge
long-distance runner who competes in the marathon and formerly the 5000 metres. He won the Olympic
marathon in 2016 and set the marathon world record of 2:01:39 on September 16, 2018, at the 2018 Berlin
Marathon. His run broke the previous world record by 1 minute and 18 seconds.[2] It was the greatest
improvement in a marathon world record time since 1967.

Kipchoge won his first individual world championship title in 2003 by winning the junior race at the IAAF
World Cross Country Championships and setting a world junior record over 5000 m on the track. At the age of
eighteen, he became the senior 5000 m world champion at the 2003 World Championships in Athletics with a
championships record, then followed with an Olympic bronze for Kenya in 2004 and a bronze at the 2006 IAAF
World Indoor Championships. A five-time World Championship 5000 m finalist, Kipchoge took silver medals
at the 2007 World Championships, 2008 Summer Olympics and 2010 Commonwealth Games.

He switched to road running in 2012 and made the second-fastest ever half marathon debut with 59:25
minutes. On his marathon debut he won the 2013 Hamburg Marathon in a course record time. His first victory
at a World Marathon Major came at the Chicago Marathon in 2014, and he went on to become series champion
for 2016, 2017, and 2018. He won the London Marathon a record 4 times. Described as "the greatest
marathoner of the modern era", Kipchoge has won 12 of the 13 marathons he has entered.[3] His only loss was a
second place behind Wilson Kipsang Kiprotich at the 2013 Berlin Marathon, where Kipsang broke the world
record.[4][5]

On 12 October 2019, Kipchoge ran the marathon distance on a special course in Vienna, Austria, achieving a
Kipchoge at the 2015 Berlin Marathon
time of 1:59:40 in the Ineos 1:59 Challenge.[6] The run did not count as a new record, as standard competition
rules for pacing and fluids were not followed and it was not an open event.[7][8] Personal information

Kipchoge won a gold medal at the 5000 m final at the 2003 World Championships, outsprinting both future
world record holder Kenenisa Bekele and runner-up Hicham El Guerrouj (the world record holder in the 1500 metres and mile) by four hundredths of a second
(12:52.79 vs. 12:52.83).[17]

World Championship and Olympic medals

In 2004, Kipchoge won a bronze medal at the 5000 m final at the 2004 Athens Olympics, behind El Guerrouj and Kenenisa Bekele.[19] He also won the Trofeo
Alasport cross country race earlier that season.

Kipchoge won the bronze in the 3000 metres indoor at the 2006 World Championships in Moscow. At the end of the year, he ran at the San Silvestre Vallecana
New Year's Eve 10 km road race and he just held off Zersenay Tadese to win in a time of 26:54 minutes. This was better than the world record, but the time was
assisted by the downhill course.[20]

Kipchoge won a silver medal at the 5000 m final of the 2007 World Championships at Osaka in 13:46.00, behind Bernard Lagat (13:45.87).[21]

During the 2008 Olympics held in Beijing, China, Kipchoge won a silver medal in the 5000 m event with a time of 13:02.80; although better than the previous
Olympic record of 13:05.59, it was not enough to match Kenenisa Bekele's pace, who won the gold medal for this race.[22] He failed to reach the podium at the
2009 World Championships in Athletics, finishing in fifth place and he also finished ninth in the 3000 m at the 2009 IAAF World Athletics Final. On the

circuit, he won the Great Yorkshire Run 10K and Campaccio Cross Country that year. As
the prerace favorite, during the 2016 Summer Olympics, Kipchoge gained a gold medal in
the marathon event.[23][24][25] On the last day of the Rio Olympics on 21 August 2016 he
won in a time of 2:08:44. The runner up was Feyisa Lilesa (Ethiopia) 2:09:54 and the
bronze medal went to Galen Rupp (USA), doing his second marathon, crossing the finish
line in 2:10:05. When the halfway point after 21.0975 km was reached, 37 men were within
10 seconds of the lead runner. The participants field diminished to 3 lead runners shortly
before 34 km. Kipchoge made his final move on silver medal winner Lilesa around 36 km
into the race. He covered the first half of the race in 1:05:55, while doing the second half in
1:02:49, that amounts to a difference of more than 3 minutes, a negative split.[26][27] The
winning gap between Kipchoge and Lilesa by 70 seconds is the largest victory margin since
the 1972 Olympic marathon.[28] Kipchoge's winning time of 2:08:44 is his slowest
marathon time (as of Apr 2019). One hundred fifty-five runners started the race, which Kipchoge (third from the right) during the 5000 m heat in the

to win an Olympic marathon gold medal. At the same Olympics, the women's marathon
was won by Jemima Sumgong in turn she became the first female Kenyan winner.[31][27]
"...There was little doubt that Kipchoge
had laid claim to be called the greatest
2010–11 seasons marathon runner of all time, ..."

Kipchoge then went on to enter the Carlsbad 5000 in CA, USA. The Carlsbad 5 km road race is the venue for
the world best times for a 5k road race for men and women respectively. The fastest to cover the track was Sammy Kipketer in 2000, with 12:59.5 min.[33]
Kipchoge made a world best attempt and although he won the race, weather affected his chances and he finished in 13:11, the fourth-fastest ever for the course
up to that point in time.[34]

In the first athletics final of the 2010 Commonwealth Games, he attempted to win the 5000 m Commonwealth title. Ugandan runner Moses Kipsiro held a
slender lead over him in the final stages of the race and Kipchoge ended up in second place, taking the silver medal some seven hundredths of a second behind.
[35][36] He flew back to Europe immediately after to take part in the Belgrade Race through History the following day. His shoe fell off in the first kilometre and,
after putting it back on, he made up much ground on the field to eventually take second place two seconds behind Josphat Menjo.[37]

At the start of 2011, he won the short race at the Great Edinburgh Cross Country, ahead of Asbel Kiprop.[38] He attempted to retain his title at the Carlsbad

5000 in April but came a close second behind Dejen Gebremeskel.[39] In May he raced the
3000 metres (finished third) in Doha, with a time of 7:27.66 and ranked him as the 12th-
fastest at the distance up to this point.[40] Kipchoge was chosen to represent Kenya at the
2011 World Championships in Athletics and reached the 5000 m final for the fifth consecutive
time, although he only managed seventh place on this occasion.

2012
Kipchoge returned to the Edinburgh Cross Country in 2012, but this time he finished third
behind Asbel Kiprop and Britain's Jonathan Hay.[41] He was also third at the Carlsbad 5000
in March.[42] He attempted to gain a place on the 10,000 m Olympic team at the Prefontaine
Classic, but fell back in the late stages of the Kenyan trial race, finishing seventh.[43] A
seventh-place finish in the Kenyan 5000 m trial race meant he would not make a third
consecutive Olympic team.[44]

He made his half marathon debut in the Lille Half Marathon.[45] The run was won by a new
course record time of 59:05 (previously 59:36 by ilahun Regassa set in 2008) from Ezekiel
Chebii (former pb 59:22), trailed by Bernard Koech 59:10, and Kipchoge earned a third place
with 59:25. His time of 59:25 became the second fastest Half Marathon debut, only second to
Moses Mosop's 59:20 in Milan in 2010.[46]

On 6 Oct 2012 Kipchoge run in the 2012 IAAF World Half Marathon Championships in
Kavarba Bulgaria. Zsersenay Tadese of Eritrea won in 1:00:19 and Kipchoge placed sixth in

2013, he won the Half Marathon of Klagenfurt in 1:01:02 minutes.[50]

Then, he raced in the Berlin Marathon and he finished second in 2:04:05, the fifth-fastest time in history, in his second ever marathon,[51] behind Wilson
Kipsang, who set a new marathon world record with 2:03:23. Third place went to Geoffrey Kipsang of Kenya with 2:06:26.[5]

Kipchoge won the Berlin Marathon in 2015. His win and then-personal-best time (2:04:00) occurred even
though his shoes malfunctioned, causing his insoles to flap out of both shoes from 10 km onward; rather than
risk time lost from an adjustment, he finished the race with bloodied, blistered feet.[52]

2016
In April 2016, Kipchoge won the London Marathon for the second consecutive year in a time of 2:03:05.[53]
His performance broke the course record in London, and became the second-fastest marathon time in
history, missing Dennis Kimetto's world record by 8 seconds.[54]

On 20 November 2016, Kipchoge ran in the Airtel Delhi Half Marathon, winning the race clocking a time of
59:44.[55]

2017
On 6 May 2017, Kipchoge, along with Zersenay Tadese (then world record holder in the half marathon) and
Lelisa Desisa (2 time Boston Marathon winner), attempted the first sub-two-hour assisted marathon, in the
Nike Breaking2 project on the Monza Formula 1 racetrack near Milan, Italy. All 3 runners ran a test 2 months
before the attempt. The target time was 1 hour for a half Marathon. Kipchoge finished first in 59:17. The Wilson Kipsang (front) and Kipchoge
course was measured with 2400 m.[56] During the 2 hour attempt, the runners were paced by a lead car and (behind) running in the Berlin Marathon
30 supporting pacers joining in stages (both considered illegal under IAAF rules).[3] The race started at 5:45h 2013 in which Kipsang set the world record
local time on the 2.4 km track. Kipchoge finished in 2:00:25, while the other two had to slow and finished far with 2:03:23 and Kipchoge, racing in his
second marathon, finished second, 42

On 24 September 2017, he won the Berlin Marathon in a time of 2:03:32.[59] In rainy conditions, he finished
14 seconds ahead of Guye Adola who ran his first marathon. Adola set the fastest marathon debut ever.[60] Former marathon world record holder Wilson
Kipsang and 2016 winner Kenenisa Bekele failed to finish.[61][62]

2018
Kipchoge won the 2018 London Marathon against a field that included Mo Farah (4 time Olympic gold medalist), who finished third with a time of 2:06:32 in

Following his performances in the 2018 season, Kipchoge received various accolades and
about 30 minutes into the run, during the Marathon
recognitions. He was named IAAF World Athlete of the Year together with Caterine Ibargüen,
world record in the 2018 Berlin Marathon. He is shown

in Mombasa, Kenya, beating fellow contenders for the coveted trophy, athlete Hellen Obiri, Boxer
Fatuma Zarika and rugby star Janet Okelo.[87]

2019
Kipchoge won the 2019 London Marathon in a time of 2:02:37,[88] the second fastest marathon of all time, behind his 2018 Berlin Marathon win. His fourth
win in London marks a new course record, beating his own 2016 London Marathon record by 28 seconds.[89] The lead runner passed the half marathon mark in
1:01:37.[90] Mosinet Geremew (Ethiopia) finished as the runner up in 2:02:55 and Mule Wasihun (Ethiopia) came in third place in 2:03:16.[4] The British
runner Mo Farah (4 time Olympic Gold medalist), a pre-race favorite, finished 5th.[91]

Ineos 1:59 Challenge

In May 2019, a few days after his London Marathon win, Kipchoge announced another take on the sub-two-hour marathon, named the Ineos 1:59 Challenge.
On 12 October 2019 in Vienna's Prater park, he ran 4.4 laps of the Hauptallee in 1:59:40, successfully but unofficially breaking the two hour barrier.[92][93][94]
He became the first person in recorded history to run the marathon distance in under two hours. The effort did not count as a new world record under IAAF
rules due to the setup of the challenge. Specifically, it was not an open event, Kipchoge was handed fluids by his support team throughout, the run featured a
